Hello everyone. I finally pulled the trigger on the Thule Cross Bar setup, and I'd like to share some photos of the vehicle here! I have installed the WingBar Evo 150 (60in) bars and the Rapid Crossroad Footpack. Looks extremely sleek and is dead silent on the highway. I'm now considering a Thule Roof Box, so it would be appreciated if you have any insight on which ones. Feel free to share your Thule setup here.

Definitely looks good! What made you go with the Thule bars vs. the OEM bars?

Thank you! I appreciate it! I had the OEM bars previously and felt that it was time for a bit of an upgrade.

Thule makes great roof rack systems. I had their complete kit with the square bars and even the kayak J bar from Thule installed on my Civic. unfortunately those mounting styles have been discontinued so I would have to start over from scratch if going with them on either Pilot. I'm still deciding whether I want to get the factory rails installed on my bare roof Pilot.
The Thule mounting system makes all these budget kits seem weak and fragile.

I just installed the brightlines roof rack on my 2019 pilot that doesn’t have the side runners and it looks basically identical to that Thule rack - was $169 on Amazon -it is very sturdy - I think I actually Like how the cross bars hang over the mounting feet a bit - some don’t like that look

I agree with the overhang. To each their own.
